CPI Card Group Inc. (PMTS) Latest News
22 Sep
CPI Card Group and Bankjoy announced a partnership to bring CPI Push Provisioning to Bankjoy's community banks and credit unions. The service lets customers add debit and credit cards to digital wallets directly from a bank's app or online portal, providing instant access and reducing interruptions when cards are reissued. CPI cites a 2025 consumer survey showing 71% of 18- to 37-year-olds favor adding payment data to wallets, and issuer data suggesting activation rates could rise 15-20% with push provisioning. Rob Dixon of CPI says cards already in wallets have an advantage at payment time. Bankjoy chief operating officer Weiwei Duncan emphasizes reduced complexity and cost, with CPI handling wallet and network integrations. Expands push provisioning reach and potential activations for CPI, but depends on client adoption and revenue realization.
